So far, my holiday has brung me cheer and sadness. Starting off with cheer, on christmas eve I was at my girlfriend's house for a huge celebration. Everyone her family knew came over, we had a nice italian dinner with spaghetti, breadsticks, meatballs, sausage, and garlic bread. After that, it was time for me to open my gifts since I wasn't gonna be there on christmas day. My girlfriend, Michelle gave me a Scarface door poster, a Lucky Luciano t shirt, a Hatebreed patch, a skull pin, a new chain wallet, a pocket knife, a set of plyers that had a blade, a mini saw, a screwdriver, a nail file and a can opener to it, and she gave me an ornament with it which was all good because I gave her Care Bears baby tugs, care bears poster, a kitty poster, simple plan cd which she loves a lot, a bed bath and beyond cd, and an ornament. That wasn't all though, her mom gave me a quilt she knitted herself and a blanket from her job, her dad got me a screwdriver kit, and her sister's friend Robin got me a throwover fleece blanket. I went straight home late that night carrying 2 heavy bags (one with my gifts in it, and the other were gifts wrapped for my family and friends from my girlfriend's house), and it was a b***h carrying those bags all the way home, they eventually started to break on me so I had to carry them in my arms. I got home finally and just put the gifts next to the tree, and just went to bed. At 3am, I got up, I gave my bro Andre his gift which was the new Eminem cd (someone he listens to and I personally despise), and a Radio Shack gift card, and he gave me my gift which was a Slayer shirt and a $30 hot topic gift card, and from there I went to my friend Hans who I haven't seen in the longest time. I apologized to him b/c I couldn't get him anything, so I just snagged 50 of my blank cds and tried to split them with him and my other friend Mike but Hans didn't want the blanks so Mike got them all. Hans just said me actually coming over was a gift to him so I felt relieved there. I eventually went home around 8am to open the rest of my gifts, my mom and dad got me clothes, and a dvd burner, and my bro danny got me a Strawbridges gift card, and my sister got me chocolate covered cherries, and my aunt Lillian gave me a camera and 3 pairs of dress socks, my grandma on my dad's side gave me a bath towel, and my grandma on my mom's side gave me a shirt, and last, but not least, my friend Jeff gave me a $25 AMC gift card and me and Michelle plan on watching Meet the Fockers this weekend with my friend Rita who's going to Israel on the 3rd of next month.
Now to the sadness, on christmas, I went to call my friend Ronen just to see how he was doing, and he dropped some really horrible news. He told me that Nelson, who was a friend of both of us was killed in a car accident, I got off the phone crying which was something I did for an entire hour and I usually don't cry unless someone I know dies or something terrible happens to Michelle. I went to call Michelle and I was still crying for like 20 minutes, trying to tell her what happened and glad she listened to me. Days later, I went to Nelson's viewing with Ronen, and his brother and this other dude, Omar, and well Nelson's family was there and I hardly knew the family so I didn't want to say anything stupid so I just viewed the body, dropped a cross next to his hands where people dropped rosaries, and old pictures and I just couldn't imagine ever seeing him there because he was around my age and couldn't bare to see his family and his girlfriend in tears so I eventually left and cried when I got home. I already had to go to a funeral this year in which my friend Tom's uncle passed away with liver disease. With death set in mind, Reggie White (NFL hall of famer) died last sunday of a heart attack, Dimebag Darrel (guitarist from Damageplan and formely of Pantera) gets killed on stage by some crazed gunman, Christopher Reeve (he played in the Superman movies) dies of a heart attack at 53, Rodney Dangerfield's health deteriorated with age, this girl I knew from school overdoses on pills, and also with the losses of Marlon Brando and the recent tsunami that struck Asia and parts of Africa killing nearly 100,000, that makes me wonder, is there an apocolypse near?
